block: fix memory leaks on unplugging block device



All objects, which are allocated in blk_mq_register_disk, must be
released in blk_mq_unregister_disk.

I use a KVM virtual machine and virtio disk to reproduce this issue.

kmemleak: 18 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | head -n 30
unreferenced object 0xffff8800b6636150 (size 8):
